After Phoebe leaves, Scully asks Mulder what "three-pipe problem" is. Mulder:
-- That's, uh, from Sherlock Holmes. It's a private joke.
-- How private?
-- Um... we knew each other in school in England. She was brilliant and, uh, I got in over my head and, uh, paid the price.
The X-Files, TV series
Explain and parse please the phrase. What it means, if it contains phrasal verbs
Thanks.
